Two examples:

  • Consider a wind turbine: We want this system to be reliable, meaning that it generates the power according to the turbine's operating profile. To ensure that the costs of producing power is sufficiently low, it is necessary to find more cost-efficient wind turbine designs and more cost-efficient ways of operating and maintaining them. This course aims to give you knowledge and competence in RAMS tools and methods help you to solve such tasks. 
  • Consider an instrumented pressure protection system installed in relation to a subsea pipeline which that is tied into a topside platformfacility. The system is installed used to protect the pipeline from over-pressuring upon certain events, such as a downstream blockage. A failure of this instrumented pressure protection system may result in a pipe burst. If the pipe bursts close to the platform, it may eventually create a gas cloud nearby with the potential of escalating into an explosion and fire. If the pipeline bursts on the seabed, it may damage the sea environment. This course aims to give you a set of tools that are needed to define how reliable such safety-systems must be, how they should be designed to meet the reliability requirements, and how the reliability performance may be traced in operation.

The course belongs to the large envelope of RAMS courses given from which are thought at the department of Production and Quality Engineering at NTNU.   The The course is adminstred by the RAMS group at this department. It is expected that the students already have taken (or have relevant background corresponding to):

This course replaces the earlier arrangement with two specialization modules in RAMS, one in risk and reliability and one in maintenance optimization (each with 3.75 credit points). This means that TPK 5170 includes In a transition period, TPK 5170 will include some subjects from both of these subject areas: risik and risk/reliability assessment and maintenance optimization, and gives 7.5 credits (i.e., as a regular course normally does at NTNU. It may be important to note that

  • This course is now a regular course like any other master courses, and it may not be possible that all students will be able to see a close relationship with their project topic and the lectured topics (which was easier to ensure with the old system with specialization modules).
  • You may ask why this is necessary, if the you (for example) are focusing mainly on risk analysis in the specialization project and master thesis. The answer from our This course should give you the remaining topics that we - as a RAMS group - think you should have consider this course as the last fill in of new topics and extensions, and it corresponds to what we in the RAMS group think you should have in your "knowledge & skills" suitcase when you leave NTNU with a specialization in RAMS.
